Brighton’s Gaetan Bong anticipates 'massive' M23 derby

The Seagulls will be hoping to strengthen their bid for survival when they visit their archrivals at Selhurst Park

Brighton and Hove Albion defender Gaetan Bong has highlighted the importance of Saturday’s 'massive' M23 derby against Crystal Palace.

Chris Hughton's side are placed 13th in the English top-flight with six games left and are seven points above safety.

After settling for a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town last Saturday, the Seagulls will be looking to return to winning ways against Roy Hodgson's side at Selhurst Park.

And the Cameroon international who has made 19 league appearances this campaign has charged his teammates to go for maximum points as they aim to maintain their Premier League status.
